Collagen

Supple, youthful-looking skin is largely due to collagen, a protein that helps support underlying tissue.

Over time, collagen decreases causing the skin to lose its elasticity. Lips become thinner and laugh lines and crows feet appear. Treatments can be done in a lunch hour. Periodically touch-ups will be necessary because collagen is absorbed by the skin over time.
